NFT: UFC 183: Silva vs Diaz

Di-az

Really, what can he say in the lead up to a fight against someone like Silva though?

Staredown. - ( New Window )

looking forward to that fight. Lauzon is going to be a tough test

Sad because he's very talented but he's the same fighter he's been for the last 10 years. Silva is going to destroy him. When your game plan is to to walk forward its bread to a starving man when it's the Spider. Nick is great on the mat and IMO his BJJ is much better tan Silva's but he doesn't take guys down.

Watch RDA vs Nate. The Diaz boys don't check leg kicks. I could also see that front kick that knocked Vitor out as well. Silva's length and power even as he moves up in age is vastly superior.

Kid has looked unbelievable since his TUF stint and Woodly bores me. I do miss his mom ringside from his Strikeforce days.

which might not be a bad thing given Fios raised the PPV prices again ($65! plus taxes etc) #@$@#&

I wonder if age and rust slows Silva down, but suspect he's just too long and versatile on the feet for Diaz to dictate the fight.

Hope they put a hell of strong rod in his shin. Don't want to see that again.

But he won't.

Gastelum has been an interesting follow. Way better than originally advertised or a super fast learner. Still so young.

I believe the UFC raised their PPV price $5 across the board for 2015.

and Fios is always at the forefront.

My point exactly. It's hardly embarrassing to acknowledge Silva's striking and take the guy down where Diaz has a better shot. I don't mind all the Pre fight crap Diaz but he doesn't respect his craft enough. And guys like him get passed by by others willing to adjust.

Kelvin has been a beast. He's also really young. Kid wins throw one he should get a contenders match up

diaz has been unable to disrespect his opponent. i wonder if he can get up for this fight

Rory should get the next title fight.

AGREED!
